They all have the same agent. This was carefully choreographed.

Starting to think my 3 loss prediction for Alabama might be very optimistic. They should be able to beat Mercer Island though. lol

Well maybe a little pressure
Don’t blame Alabama Crimson Tide defensive back Caleb Downs for entering the transfer portal. Blame Alabama for not doing more to keep him invested in the school he represented.

Alabama can’t keep the national freshman of the year happy? Without Nick Saban, Downs doesn’t see playing for Alabama as a worthwhile partnership? That’s a colossal fail for Alabama and, frankly, an indictment on the entire enterprise that is college football.


Downs was supposed to be a team leader keeping Saban’s roster together. If he goes, Alabama’s place atop college football goes with him. That doesn’t mean Alabama can’t climb its way back, but getting there takes a new route.

Downs is expected to follow former Alabama defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson to Georgia. Make no mistake about it. If Alabama loses Downs to the rival it just defeated in the SEC championship game, then something went completely wrong with the transition of power from former coach Nick Saban to new coach Kalen DeBoer.

KDB made a MASSIVE miscalculation. He had it all at UW. Literally hero status and a leash that was miles long. He thought Alabama was the best job in the country because it was Alabama but it was the best job in the country because of Saban. Without Saban it is just another power 5 school in an undesirable part of the country....

Something else was going on. Much like Jimmy Lake was fired for shoving a player, Mike Price was fired for going to a strip club. Both men would have survived those misdeeds had they been worth keeping.

Mike Price never coached a game for Alabama so how would they know if he was worth keeping or not.
